I am sitting here amazed that we were able to meet the campaign goal for the Cambodia Bloggers Summit in about week's time. She suggested that if anyone didn't want to pack their t-shirts, that I would be happy to take them to Cambodia. Photo by Shel Israel. I want to thank Carnet Williams and ChipIn for the challenge match!

Through a strange twist of fate, I connected again with Kalabird one of the first ex-pat bloggers from Cambodia that I discovered in 2005 because of her amazing photographs in flickr. So, she graciously agreed to participate in our panel and do a quick interview for me so I could "pro blog it" for BlogHer.

I have watched Buddhist monks pray at Ta Prohm in Cambodia. Ta Prohm Temple, Angkor, Cambodia Seriously awesome, right? Some of my greatest memories are off the worksite. I have danced with an entire village in Ghana. I have watched the sun set as I sailed the Nile on a felucca. Yet it goes deeper than an exotic location.

But when I realized it would take a long time before a small NGO working in a country, like say, Cambodia, might be able to purchase a small number of them (less than 100) to outfit a school, I was disappointed. Virginia Debolt who covers the technology beat at BlogHer has a great roundup of the reactions. Tharum was disappointed too.
